Homewood Hotel & Spa - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

Dinner and Breakfast were very good.

Dogs in the dining room

We liked the eclectic decor and lovely grounds to wander around. The staff were very attentive and dinner in the Olio restaurant was exceptional. Great mocktails and wine selection. We loved the spa and outdoor pool facilities too - a special mention to Zoissa who is a brilliant therapist!

Unfortunately there was an electrical fault which caused the fire alarm in the Mews building to go off twice in the middle of the night which was distressing but the staff addressed it well the following morning.

This is a gem of a hotel. We LOVED our stay here. The staff are all incredibly welcoming, kind and eager to help, especially the lovely ladies on reception. The room was large, the bed super comfy, and it was all very quiet and peaceful. The spa is absolutely awesome, so great to have this onsite. The restaurant was excellent. We ate there both nights and had wonderful breakfasts too. All set in an idyllic spot.

Nothing

The grounds and location are really nice

It felt a bit run down, and the rooms were way too small, another hotel with a poor layout, toilets by the bed with very little privacy, I absolutely hate hotels that have these layouts, a bathroom should not be close to the bed and if it is, the toilet should be away from the door. The bed was comfortable, the pillows were shocking, the room was a bit run down. Hot tub was a nice addition but it wasn’t very warm, also we had outdoor seating but no cushions on the chairs so that wasn’t very good. Some nice touches like free pick and mix, but in the building we were in there were no cups to put the sweets in. Also no cups with the water. Spa was average - really messy on the deck, lots of used towels on loungers, and lots of dirty cups, glasses and food plates lying around (not just the spa area, outside on the terrace, and inside in the lounge area. The food in the restaurant was good and service very good. My biggest gripe and it left a bad taste was that upon checkout i was asked to pay for dinner - We paid for it in the restaurant the evening before, which the staff member at the front desk had no idea this had happened, and the requested a bank statement/ proof of payment for the dinner! Which I found very insulting as their system was the problem. Would I go back probably not. It was overpriced and underwhelming.
